I have a column of cells with the dates of this month. I would like to have
the excel sheet to highlight (make cell fill black with yellow text) the
cell that equals the today date each time the document is opened. All other
cells in that column range would be just no cell fill and black text. So
basically, I would like it to highlight the what the current date is.

I have no clue on how this can be done, but sure there is a way.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,

I have a column of cells with the dates of this month. I would like to
have
the excel sheet to highlight (make cell fill black with yellow text) the
cell that equals the today date each time the document is opened. All
other

use "Format/Conditional formatting" on the cells with "formula" is =today().

best regards

Hi Jeff
select your cells and goto 'Conditional format'. enter the following
formula
=A1=TODAY() and choose your format
Assumption A1 is the top left cell of your selection

sorry,

the formula should be

=a1=today()

where you higligted eg. A1:A10. Make sure you use correct references (no
$A$1 etc.).
